The correct answer is option 2, Leh. Leh is known for being one of the driest places in India with very little rainfall throughout the year.

Let`s analyze the other options to understand why they are not the correct answer:

Option 1, Jodhpur, is a city located in the desert region of Rajasthan. While it is generally a dry region, it still receives slightly more rainfall compared to Leh.

Option 3, New Delhi, has a semi-arid climate with distinct seasons. It receives an average annual rainfall of around 600mm, which is significantly higher than what Leh receives.

Option 4, Bengaluru, is a city located in the southern part of India. It has a tropical savanna climate and receives a relatively higher amount of rainfall compared to Leh.

Therefore, out of the given options, Leh is the place that receives the minimum rainfall. It is situated in the cold desert region of Ladakh and experiences a cold and arid climate throughout the year.
